First meeting

The first sofachurch meeting will take place on Thursday 6th September, from 7.30pm till 9pm in the back room at St John's Methodist Church in Shavington. 

The first half hour of the meeting will be a time for chat and drinks, then the 'meaty' bit will be from 8pm till 9pm, so come for as much of the time as you're able.

We'll be distributing publicity postcards to each of the Circuit's churches in the next week or so. 

Do spread the word to everyone in the right age/outlook group and really look forward to seeing you there!

September start planned

Plans are going really well for sofachurch. We've had loads of really positive feedback and we've been delighted at how supportive and encouraging the church have been. They seem very willing to give the idea a go.

We're currently doing up the room. The painting is all done (huge thanks to the Fergusons), the new lights are being fitted this week, and a big Ikea delivery of sofas is due to arrive on Tuesday. 

We hope to get the new flooring laid after that, then assemble the furniture, add the homely touches and artwork and we should be nearly there!

We'll do a promotional sofachurch postcard which we'll distribute round the Circuit's churches, with details of the first meeting. 

In that meeting, we'll think about our ideas and plans for the group, sort out who's willing to lead when and (more importantly) who's baking!

It's very exciting. Please pray for the venture and spread the word that it's all go!
